It’s refreshing to see a couple of normal people having a frank conversation about Trumpism on network tv. Not comforting, really, but refreshing. Just a warning.
Clip 1: The previous attempts and future plans to block certification of elections should be the biggest story in the news between now and election day.

But I know I’ve got one thing I got to do Ramble onVOTE

Ramble on
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams
